15 Easy to Make DIY Sugar Scrubs You’ll Love

Just a Spoonful of Sugar...

So many people wonder how can they improve their looks. Well, I’ll you right now, if your skin isn’t on point then everything else won’t matter and that’s why you need to introduce sugar scrubs into your life.

What is a sugar scrub?

To put it simply, it’s a skin exfoliator made from sugar, oil, and whatever essential oils you want to put into it.

Its main purpose is to help exfoliate your skin. You need to remove the dead skin cells so the new blood can flourish and shine.

It can also be a great way to hydrate your skin because sugar is a natural humectant.

What the heck is humectant? That just means it draws moisture from the environment and into the skin which in turn hydrates your skin.

Nobody wants dry skin face. Bleh.

If you want to get real scientific with things (I know you do) then you’ll be happy to know that sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that penetrates the skin and breaks down the bonds that hold skin cells together. This encourages cell turnover and generates younger looking skin.

It’s funny that sugar does this because I’m a big fan of the ketogenic diet and I like to make sure that sugar never enters my body. However, I guess it’s okay if it stays on my skin.

The most dangerous thing about a sugar scrubs is how delicious they smell and because they have “sugar” in the name you may be tempted to eat them.

Don’t eat them.
